I can tell the country of origin of that signature traditional dress. =)

2 sisters, but I got the most beautiful one .She needed some red or white sandals. Thanks again, I will look more closely at my WB consistency.

Yes! Ao Dai is the Vietnamese traditional dress.

I love everything about #1.

You shoulda put that last. LOL

Interesting; IMO, #1 has the weakest composition with all of the competeing vertical elements. Very nice set though, well shot.

However, it was the only one where the exposure and lighting were perfect.

You even know the Vietnamese name for it. Good job!

Well, your wife is quite beautiful (does she have a sister?) so you can keep on posting
.................
1/ The shoes in #2 don't quite fit with the traditional dress. Unless, of course, you are trying to show the meeting of old and new ways
....................

A sister? I'd be happy to meet her mother!

I had to look back at number 2 - I was so taken with the smile that I didn't even notice the shoes!

As for learning to direct a model, I'm in the same boat. I'm used to doing live dance photography and now I'm starting to get into portraiture directing my model is probably the thing I'm finding the most difficult, even harder than lighting.

Keep 'em coming. :thumbup:

P.S. I see why you included #1, angles aside it has redeeming qualities.

Let's eat some Pho' tai. Maybe some Bun too

 

[Trever1t]

I'm gonna eat some Hu Tieu, oh man I'm hungry. She's an amazing woman, I am so lucky she found me. Graddad lol. Vtec44 I can read and write a little Vietnamese, the pronounciation is the deal breaker. Asian languages are totally alien compared to any latin derivative but I can understand just enough.

 

[Trever1t]

I don't really like how this turned out..

I agree, that last one is your best IMO.

 

[CCericola]

Just nit picky, I don't like the black shoes. No wait. let me clarify, I LOVE the shoes but I hate them in this set with that dress. And speaking of Vietnamese food, now I really want a banh mi. (mmm head cheese)

 

[Granddad]

I know what you mean about Asian languages, I spent several years in Hong Kong and became fairly good at colloquial Cantonese but it's NOTHING like a European language - say the correct word with the wrong inflection and you just insulted someones' granny. :er:

 

[Trever1t]

yeah, the word Ma has 8 different meaning in Vietnamese, dependant on the little doohicky accent.

 

[Trever1t]

Oh, and thanks, now I have to take her shoe shopping

Quit complaining! You get a top model for free.
(BTW, Great choice of setting, too.)
